Clean Tub - Clean Conscience

Well I thought I'd give it a try, we were out of regular tub cleaner anyway, you know the kind that claims you don't have to do any scrubbing?  So I picked up a bottle of Clorox new line Green Works.  To be honest, it does work, I did just as much scrubbing as I do with that other line, and I didn't feel like I was going to succumb to the noxious fumes, in fact it smelled clean, but not toxic.  In this day and age, where we all have to do our part to protect the environment, if step one is using an environmentally conscious tub cleaner - I'm all in.

Rental Guide-I welcome comments from anyone who has used this service

So this is a company that will find you a home to rent... or so they say. What they will do for you is compile listings from sites like Used Victoria, Craigs List, your local newspaper, and Kijiji. So if you don't have time to go through these listing yourself, then I say go for it, pay the 75 dollars, because it will make your search easier I'm sure. But there is no guarantee that after paying the 75 bucks you will actually find a place to live. They claim that some landlords go directly to them, but I am not really sure that actually happens, but they certainly claim it does.
I for one, would not pay someone else to do what I can do myself for free, but hey, to each his own. It's your money.

A friend of mine is looking at an apartment and this is what she had to say about it

(expletive!)

-They do not have houses/suites for rent!!!

-they do not do anything but gather listing for you

-they do not help with the application process

-they do not guarantee that you will get housing

-they do not offer you a refund of the $75 fee, if you do not find a place by the time you need to be out of your old place

Landlords do NOT list their properties on this site

Using them in no way assures that you will find a place, it's actually just a bunch of crap.

Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Sprayer

So this thing is supposed to get rid of any buildup, dirt, soap scum, mess that's already in your shower when you start using it...it's also supposed to keep your shower clean so you never have to scrub it yourself again. Well I call bull-um-oney. I tried it twice, on two different showers and it doesn't do what it says it should do. I called the company and they actually gave me my money back though, that was impressive.
I guess I'd say it makes the cleaning job you will inevitably HAVE to do, a little less labour intensive, but it certainly doesn't do what it claims to do in those lovely commercials.
